Description

Do you ever sit down to rest… but end up doom-scrolling, opening your laptop, or finding “one more thing” to do? If you’ve felt guilty for not being productive—even on a mental health day—you’re not alone.

In this raw and in-the-moment episode, Audrey shares a personal story of struggling to take a true break after a sleepless night and unpacking the real reason behind it: a dysregulated nervous system.

You’ll learn:

  • 🚨 Why high-achieving women tie their productivity to worth—and how it fuels burnout
  • 🧠 What’s happening in your brain + body when rest feels unsafe or uncomfortable
  • 💡 The subtle cues your body gives you before burnout hits
  • 🌬️ A quick and powerful breathwork technique (4-1 breathing) to override fight-or-flight and signal safety
  • ✨ How nervous system regulation builds more capacity, focus, and joy in the long run

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of overwork, guilt, and exhaustion, this episode will help you shift into true rest—so you can recharge and show up stronger.
